Question 1 Explanation: 
f(x) has a local minimum at x=x_{0}
if {f}'\left ( x_{0} \right )=0
and {f}''\left ( x_{0} \right ) \gt 0
Question 2

A
0.5
B
0.33
C
0.8
D
0.2

Question 2 Explanation: 
\begin{aligned} f\left ( x \right )&=-2+6x-4x^{2}+0.5x^{3} \\ {f}'\left ( x \right )&=6-8x+1.5x^{2} \\ x_{ini}&=0\\ \text{By Newton }&\text{Raphson Method,}\\ x_{1}&=x_{ini}-\frac{f\left ( x_{ini} \right )}{{f}'\left ( x_{ini} \right )} \\ &= 0-\frac{-2}{6} \\ \Rightarrow \;\;x_{1}&=\frac{1}{3} \\ \therefore \;\; \Delta x&=x_{1}-x_{ini}=\frac{1}{3} \end{aligned}


Question 3
Given , i=\sqrt{-1}, the value of the definite integral, I=\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\frac{\cos x+i\sin x}{\cos x-i\sin x}dx is:
A
1
B
-1
C
i
D
-i
Engineering Mathematics   Calculus
Question 3 Explanation: 
\begin{aligned} I&=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}\frac{\cos x+i\sin x}{\cos x-i\sin x}dx \\ &=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}\frac{e^{ix}}{e^{-ix}}dx=e^{2ix}dx \\ &=\frac{1}{2i}\left [ e^{2ix} \right ]_{0}^{\pi /2} \\ &=\frac{1}{2i}\left [ e^{i\pi }-1 \right ] \\ &=\frac{1}{2i}\left ( -1-1 \right ) \\ &=-\frac{1}{i}=i \end{aligned}
Question 4
\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }\left ( 1+\frac{1}{x} \right )^{2x} is equal to
A
e^{-2}
B
e
C
1
D
e^{2}
Engineering Mathematics   Calculus
Question 4 Explanation: 
y=\: \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }\left ( 1+\frac{1}{x} \right )^{2x}
\log y = \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }2x\log \left ( 1+\frac{1}{x} \right )
Which is in the form of \infty \times 0.
To convert this into \frac{0}{0} form, we rewrite as,
\Rightarrow \log y= \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }\frac{2\log \left ( 1+\frac{1}{x} \right )}{1/x}
Now is in \frac{0}{0} form.
Using L'Hospital's Rule,
\begin{aligned} \log y&=\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }\frac{\frac{2\times -\frac{1}{x^{2}}}{1+\frac{1}{x}}}{-\frac{1}{x^{2}}} \\ \log y&=\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }\frac{2}{1+\frac{1}{x}}=2 \\ \therefore \;\; y&= e^{2}\end{aligned}
Question 5
Let \mathbf{A}=\left [ a_{ij} \right ],\; \; \; 1\leq i, \; j\leq n with n\geq 3\; and\; a_{ij}=i.j. The rank of A is:
A
0
B
1
C
n-1
D
n

Question 5 Explanation: 
Rank of A=1
Because each row will be scalar multiple of first row.So we will get only one-zero row in row Echeleaon form of A.

Alternative:
Rank of A=1
Because all the minors of order greater than 1 will be zero.
